A Flash flood watch remains in effect through Wednesday night.
Ka’u residents had plenty of questions for Aina Koa Pono officials Monday night at a public hearing concerning a proposed biomass fuel plant in the Ka’u District.  Aina Koa Pono president Melvin Chiogioji told Naalehu residents that the plant could used solid waste, grease, and green waste, but  that officials prefer to use biomass from local landowners because it simplifies the project.  Chiogioji told the “Hawaii Tribune-Herald” that the company is considering doing an environmental assessment or an environmental impact statement to give community members the opportunity to comment on the project.
The final environmental assessment has been issued for the Old Kona Airport Master Plan.  Missing from the document is a funding source for the $42 million project.  The “Hawaii Tribune-Herald”  also reports that the plan has removed a proposed dog park and has recommended a reduction in the feral cat population to meet federal agency concerns. The final assessment also relies on an as yet unfunded regional part, at Kealakehe, to provide activities the county doesn’t want to support at the Old Kona Airport park.
